A Day With Some Gals

Today was a special day. With 3 kids away camping, thanks to Aunty Amy and Uncle Tyler, Cathy along with Catie and Caroline, my beloved and I, drove in to see family in Ladner in the family bus. Sitting in the van beside two little cuties both vying for attention, smiling, laughing, drinking cold water and several "this little piggies" later, we arrived to the welcome arms of April and Abby.

It was a wonderful day. When my beloved left for lengths in the swimming pool, we 5 gals headed off on foot to see April and Nick's new abode. Already patched, wallpaper removed and carpets ripped out the place looks more loved already. It is going to be so nice for them. A condo of sweet dreams.

Abby was just delighted to see her cousins and the look on her little face showed. She was almost screeching with delight. While Catie did some exploring and found a huge purple ball as well as some chewing gum, Caroline thought a little whump or two on Abby was the thing to do, and Abby returned the favour with a little hair pulling. All in all, a terrific time was had by all.

We had lunch, we drank mugs of tea, ate some treats and generally just had a good visit interrupted by three little ones who needed attention here, and a little attention there. Too soon it came to an end. Tired babies needing naps. 2 in a van, one hopefully in her crib. Two beautiful little mommas, and my beloved and I. It was a lovely way to spend a summer day.

My favourite images from today:
seeing my two daughters pushing their strollers down the street and my smiling grandaughters.

Thanks for the ride Cathy. Thanks for the visit April. Can't wait to do it again!
